At the beginning of the class we listened an audio about relationships called "Every kid needs a champion". Nazareth and I were in the bathroom so we couldn't listen it the first time. When the teacher said that we have to talk, we talked about others things. Then, we commented the audio with the group, I wasn't prepare to comment but I did it anyway.

After that, we found on internet social problems. We found a lot of social problems which are affecting our country or the world. The teacher asked us for a volunteer, and Andrés rise his hand. His labor was to manage a discussion about one or more social problems. The conversation started with Death Penalty, a topic proposed by Nazareth. It was a polemic topic because part of the group was agree and the other one was disagree. I agree about it and I tried to explain my opinion. When we talked about topics like this, we need to be careful and respectful with the others. Some people believe in god and have a religion, and this is ok, so they are not agree with death penalty because they think that only god have the justice, so if I don't live in god we need to respect each other.

That discussion was the longest, then we talked about abortion. Another polemic topic. Again people who said that you can't kill a baby because of god. I think this is not for god, this is for the baby and your conscience. I disagree, I don't a baby deserve to die but when you think in a sexual abuse young girl is different or when the baby is sick and is not going to survive. So, I disagree but I respect the opinion of the others because I have never been in a situation like this so I can't give a rational opinion. After that, we talked about education and how people without education is more susceptible to be a criminal, a drug dealer, a drunk. Homeless people could be an example of that.

We spoke about suicide, this is a topic that the people don't like and most of the time, and it is not taking with seriousness. The other one was bullying, an actual problem in schools or high schools. The last topic was equality, women are discriminated for his gender most of the time, in her jobs, in the street. Marielys and Mónica told us their experiences because they studied careers "for men". Sounds stupid but people said that. When I am driving motorcycle, sometimes I put my coat and the pant because is raining and nobody knows that I am a woman because they see my body or my face but if a man look at my eyes and realize that I am woman he immediately hiss me, this is disgusting.

At the final of the class we planned a role play for the next day.
